It's a lot more nuanced than that. Racial profiling only works if it's impossible for an adversary to recruit a member who doesn't match the profile.

$ says that won't happen.

Information security meanwhile, doesn't need profiling because it applies to everyone.

Nonsense. It works if it's more difficult for the adversary to recruit a member who doesn't match the profile. It doesn't need to be "impossible".

Of course it doesn't work perfectly, but no security is ever perfect.
